Course #1: Starting

The start is a cruicial part of a race. World class sailor Poul Elvstrøm have once said that a good start is 50% of a victory. A statement though that we do challenge in this course

Like all our courses in this first series on SailingSkills we begin with with the absolute basics, and then slowly but surely ramp up the level. And we can pretty much guarantee that even highly experiences racers will get inputs and tricks that will inspire to new ideas on the starting line.

You will learn about:

• Starting basics - geometry and line bias
• Current
• Starting Strategies
• Starting tactics
• Final positioning and acceleration
• Racing rules in the start

Finally we will present some exercises you can bring straight onto the water, for your next training session

The course is divided into chapters, total about 3h00 runtime
